Mackenzie Leland

Motivated, positive, hands-on employee, with a successful record of accomplishments in colony maintenance and leading projects. Experience with Microsoft office products and organizing data. Performance of all aspects of scheduling and packing orders for shipment. Major strengths include strong team player, excellent time management and communication skills, attention to detail, technical competency and knowledge of all current standard operating procedures that contribute to the success of The Jackson Laboratory.

 As a former employee of The Jackson Laboratory with over 7 years of experience, I offer a strong match to the qualifications matching the Research Administrative Assistant opening. I am very excited to apply for this position and utilize the knowledge and skills I have acquired while being part of such a respected company. Since my employment began at The Jackson Laboratory I had steadily moved up into various roles that have allowed me to show my level of responsibility and determination regarding my work. I have taken advantage of all the courses offered at JAX. In my 4 years as a Research Assistant II some of my daily tasks included managing and coordinating projects with internal and external laboratories. I collected and uploaded data into shared drives for the Shock Centers PI’s. During Covid I got familiar with the use of softwares like webex. In previous employment, I managed 3 local stores where my tasks involved ordering, hiring, book keeping, conduct employee meetings and working with various people and venders. I think these skills will be beneficial to this position. I look forward to speaking to you at your earliest convenience regarding this opportunity at JAX. Regards, Mackenzie Leland
